I love shots like this, you can make up your own stories about what it might actually be. Excellent play of light and shadow.

awesome awesome awesome! fine textures with fine shadows. I love your use of creativity here, looks like the shadow on the left is trying to take the soul of the shadow on the right, nicely done.

A trippy shot- the texture, lines, shadows, and the orientation of the photo... I am trying to figure out how you shot the picture originally and couldn't figure it out.

squared shadows. A wonderful abstract work. The contrast between the exact pattern and the chaotic shadows is nice and nearly mysterious.

The world of shadows. Love it! You are slowly shifting from your silhouettes towards the shadows. So connected, yet a different look.
